# Addicted Artifacts

At the heart of Rune Miners lies a mysterious and dangerous treasure: **Addicted Artifacts**.

These are powerful relics hidden deep within the mines — coveted for their immense value, but feared for their addictive and corrupting nature.

## What Are Addicted Artifacts?

**Addicted Artifacts** are the rarest and most valuable objects miners can find. They grant **Relics**, **Runes**, and high-risk rewards, but at a cost: they carry **Risk Value**, which contributes to the **Addiction System**.

## Risk-to-Earn

Addicted Artifacts are the foundation of the game’s **risk-to-earn loop**.

* **Higher Risk = Higher Rewards**\
  The more corrupted and addicted your team becomes, the more powerful the rewards you unlock — including **rare Relics**, **Legendary Runes**, and **Blueprints**.
* **But There’s a Cost…**\
  Addiction stacks over time. As miners collect more Addicted Artifacts, their addiction level rises — affecting all miners in your account globally and unlocking negative consequences (see: Addiction System).

*Do you push deeper to get one more Addicted Artifact?*

*Is it worth risking your best miner for a shot at a powerful Relic?*

*How much corruption can your team handle before needing recovery?*

These decisions define your strategy and progression in Rune Miners.

## Finding Addicted Artifacts&#x20;

Addicted Artifacts can be found by:

* Completing **high-risk expeditions** deep underground.
* Unlocking **Chests** with a high **Risk Value** rating **Artefacts**.

Artifacts may not always appear, but their value is immense when they do.

The deeper you dig, the greater the temptation.\
The greatest treasures carry the greatest curse.&#x20;
